If you have a Laptop or desktop PC that is using an AMD Ryzen APU or Athlon APU you will find that the motherboard or chipset with automatically reserve a section of your system RAM for the graphics adaptor.
It usually will be something like this
4GB System RAM with be approx 3.95GB for Windows and 512MB for the APU or graphics adaptor. Roughly one eighth 1/8 of the RAM avaialable.
Moving to 8GB will actually then take a quarter or 1/4 of the RAM or 2GB for the APU leaving around 5.95GB for Windows or whatever OS you have.
Upgrading to 12GB (4GB + 8GB) Will still take 2GB from the available RAM leaving you with around 10GB free so this is around a sixth or 1/6 which still ins't great but is the best option when on a budget. Ideally i would recommend 16GB for a little extra breathing room and hopefully a matched pair of RAM but it isn't entirely necessary.
Hopefully this will be helpful for anyone in a similar situation and thinking of upgrading there APU based system.

I have to be honest Mike. I misread the title as 128GB and my first thought was "Bloody hell I can't afford that !"
me either :-)
😂😂😂 me too
Thanks for the video, Mike! I think that many people are unaware of the fact that most integrated APU (CPU+GPU) solutions actually take away from system RAM being "shared memory". Adding a 8gb stick to a 4gb system will make a huge difference! I do have to add that having paired RAM (ie: 2 identical sticks of memory) will allow the computer to run in dual channel memory mode, which really helps out with performance.
Good point! dual channel is a good way of boosting performance. These Ryzen based laptops will actually do dual channel as long as the speeds are the same regardless of memory size but obviously as the memory usage gets higher its benefits are reduced when the smaller stick is at its limit
Great video mike! The extra 4GB makes a big difference in every day tasks!
Totally agree!
I have an HP laptop with 12gb ram. It will still run in dual channel with the extra 4gb at single channel for that extra beef. I can say that it’s much better than when I was at 8gb dual channel.
cool thanks for the info
I am upgrading my laptop since it only have 4gb ram and I bought a 8gb stick should I put it in the first slot? or just in the 2nd slot
Two things I hate from laptops manufacturers: 1. The welded 4 GB RAM (Hey ASUS, can you hear me? XD), they put the lowest speed and size of RAM to save some money, and 2. You can't adjust the shared VRAM value (Hey Lenovo, this one is for you). So, the new RAM standard now is at least 12 GB of RAM on laptops and 16 GB on desktops. Thank you Mike!
yeah i agree daft decisions by the OEM's
@@sidx87 how plz tell me plzzz
I have the same laptop but with Intel integrated graphics. Was easily able to swap out the 8gb stick for 16gb and it made a huge difference running Win11.
Great video explaining very calmy and so informative!
Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you sir for such an eye-opening info. I've been thinking for the past few months whether to upgrade my Acer Aspire 3, which is also Ryzen 5 3500u, to 8gb or 12gb. Now I have my answer.
Edit: I just added another 8 gigs of RAM earlier to the already built-in 4 gigs of my laptop (and it was my first time upgrading too!) But damn the difference is just too good, the speed and quality of everything is just much better and it really does feel like a newly bought laptop.
Glad it helped :-)
How its working bro? have u upgraded ur laptop? what about performance then?
@@rahat67600 The performance is way better and its like a completely new laptop ....If you upgrade HDD to nvme SSD it will be even better
@@rahat67600 Yes I just did earlier today and damn do I love the results. My laptop feels brand new and the increase in speed and smoothness is awesome. It's like 10× more faster now in doing tasks, even in multitasking. Photoshop 2020 is also GREATLY improved and games also gets a boost in fps and graphics quality. Overall, 12gb of RAM is just the perfect blend for these kind of laptops man.
@@arcijeirojas I also upgraded to 12 GB. Thanks man, take love from Bangladesh.❤️❤️
Makes sense thank you.
Shael's Studio Thanks for the feedback! Please consider sharing the video and information on your social media, it really helps to get the message out there.
SP again, you spoil us YT tech ambassador
this video was created very quickly from a question received in the channel and i only had the SP ram - no shill intended :-)
@@mikesunboxingNo shill accusations from me, from what I understand from SPs practice, they buy in chips to spec from Hynix, do away with binning and fit to their custom boards. Saving the consumer who wants to just fit parts in their machine so it works to spec the added cost of binning. Pro Consumer.
If anything props to you and your lesser known product, product placement. Like you are fighting for our wallets, There are more than 3 brands of RAM and some are cheaper and will work as good as the big guy's in daily use. (Ali G style) RISPEK
i read from an article saying that if i upgrade my ram to 12gb will decreased the dual-channel or even make it unstable. i have 4 gb onboard ram with ryzen 3 3200u and i considering to upgrade it, should i go straight to 8gb or 12gb? i'm so confuse now, please give some advice..
thanks in advance sir
listen to what i said in the video
Not true. I tried 8gb (2x4gb) and (4+8gb) on my hp laptop and I can assure you that 12gb is way better. It will still run in dual channel. And the performance is way better compared to when I was just using 8gb. Its more unstable for me when I was at 8gb because the system is using 2gb for the apu leaving me at 6gb to use for the system which is too low to do multiple tasks.
@@crazycowpoke Same here 12 GB is way better
How about 20gb vs 12gb is 20gb ram overkill?
Can I add ddr3L 8gb 1600mhz to another ddr3L 4gb 1600mhz already in my laptop?
thanks for this video Mike! although I do have a worry, I’ve read that using 8gb+4gb will not activate the dual channel mode. Is that true? or will the dual channel mode only stops when it exceeds 8gb+ usage of ram in this scenario?
yes dual channel will only really be effective for matching memory sizes and if you have mismatched ram the dual channel will work but only until the point of them being equal
My 8 gig stick gets here tommorow. Lets hope it works flawlessly!
Well, has it? X)
@@onurerdogan1078 yeah, i installed it the same day and my computer works just fine. It runs alot faster though

@@mikesunboxing Glad to hear that! 😊
hey great video btw! i was wondering if i bumped up from 8gb to 16gb of ram will the gaming performance be better or roughly the same?
yes with windows really wanting 8GB or more to run the jump from 8GB to 16GB makes everything much smoother and can prevent windows using slower swapfile
Morning Mike, Got the Kamikaze pro case coming today so I can finally build my pc, just a quick question how do you remove the dust filter on the front panel as you said you did with yours as it would have impeded airflow! Thanks mate x

Hey, I hope this can help you if you're about to assemble a new Ryzen Apu. In my case, buying an A320 motherboard with a Ryzen 3200g and 16GB Corsair Vengeance Ram was a mistake. From the day I bought it (first pc btw) it kept crashing while gaming and sometimes while surfing the internet, UNTILL, I took out one of the two rams that it stopped crashing permanently. Moral of the story.
1. PC Partpicker may be wrong when it comes to compatibility between components. ALWAYS check your desired ram's QVL to see if they're supported by your cpu.
2. Maybe the motherboard is too basic, although it said "Ryzen 3rd gen supported" but I'm inclined to say the ram is the issue because the box said "Supports Intel 7th Gen processor". Again, first build.
Finally, what its said on the video is true. When it comes to integrated graphics you need at least 12 GB IF you want to play games.
2GB ram for Windows
2GB for your Apu
Plus your game's minimum ram requirement, around 4GB if playing on low. Either way, you'd be tight on ram.
So now you know, at least 12 GB and don't forget to triple check your Ryzen and Ram's QVL. Good Luck!
thanks for the tips and information
I have your same setup except I use 8gb ram and I okay bf2 and mad max. Should I get more ram instead of the b450 I had planned on?
the 3200 g has a fairly weak memory controller . 2933 is the rated maximum and ive found that crashes with many modules at xmp settings above 2933 . I guess the timings are too tight . I switched to two modules(corsair vengeance 2x8gb 3000 cl15) and it can run above 3000 . chipset shouldn't matter , just the memory controller on the cpu die . Ryzen dram calculator can help if you have access to timings on a320. if it still doesn't boot then you back off the speed a bit .
NICE WORK 👌👌👌👌👍👍👍
Thank you so much 😀
Iam having a ryzen 3250u laptop with 4 gb ram(upto 12 gb expandable).I would like to add an extra 8 gb ram,will it make my total ram as 12 gb.how much will gigs will i get for vega 3 graphics

hey Mike I wanna ask u, my laptop is acer aspire 3 A315-42-ROXU with AMD Ryzen 3 3200U but the RAM that already installed with 4GB 2666mhz but the maximum is 2400mhz but it's only read 2400mhz anyway in task manager and I've bought 8GB of RAM with a speed of 2666mhz so it would be 12GB 2666mhz, will my laptop be okay?

Hey I have an Acer Aspire 3 A315-41G Amd Ryzen 5 2500u with Vega 8, last 6 months I upgraded my RAM from 4GB to 8GB. And the Vega 8 only has 1GB vram even though I have 8GB of RAM, is that normal? And then, if I would be upgrading my RAM to 12GB will Vega 8 having 2GB vram after upgrading? Thanks in advance :>
the APU will use anything up to 2GB dynamically and they have taken the GPU memory allocation option out of the more recent BIOS, Windows will allocate what it can when it can
Thanks for answering, now I know what to do :>

Hey! I had a doubt
I currently have a laptop with ryzen 5 3550h and gtx 1650.
I have 12GB ram (8+4)
Is it worth it to upgrade to 16GB(8+8)
Will i see an improvement in gaming performance cuz of dual channel?
not really
i have heard we can limit the vega graphics ram usage to 512mb from the bios but i don't know it would be safe or not?
it is dynamically allocated so makes very little difference
Thank you sir
So nice of you
So I have a question. Im buying a office pc for my dad. see a cheap prebuilt with a 3400g but only 12 gb of RAM. (8+4) how does this affect the pc as opposed to a 4+4 or an 8+8. Does it still run in dual channel with an 8+4? I am assuming that they are both the same speed from the factory.
yes the memory will run in dual channel up to 8GB after that apps or programs will be in single channel
hey, mike, I have Acer aspire a315-23 with 4GB of ram, I want to upgrade my laptop ram. should I go for another 4GB stick or 8GB as my laptop supports up to 12GB ram only? please reply as i am planning to upgrade to improve gaming performance .
i would add 8gb as windows will use 2GB for the vga so 8GB would then be only 6GB which isn't a lot for windows 10 these days

hey, i would like to upgrade my laptop (i7 1065g7) from 8gb (x1) ram to 12 gb (8+4) to improve the performance in games a bit. Ive been reading that mixing different sizes of ram is a bad idea, and that the ideal upgrade would be 16 (8+8) running in dual channel, but i dont think i need 16 gb of ram since i wont be playing hard gaming on an integrated graphics laptop. Is it really that much of a difference having 12gb vs 16 gb? and the most important thing, does it worth spending double the money?
that is fine many times i have seen people do that
@@mikesunboxing thanks for your response! so turns out that the 4gb which i wanted to upgrade with has 2666mhz, lower than the 3200mhz of my 8gb ram in my computer, Will this difference make an important bad impact or will it still be worthing the upgrade?

Please answer sir....
I'm too confused...
I have a system which with Ryzen 5 3500u and onboard soldered 4GB sodimm is it safe to add 8GB to my system or adding Extra 4 GB RAM to make dual channel configuration.
Which will benefit more ......
either way is fine
i have a 4gb integrated intel i5 laptop with 128MB dedicated graphics. i recently upgraded to ssd. i was wondering, would i notice any difference if i upgrade to 12gb ram?
yes windows 10 likes to have around 8GB of its own to work well
Is there any possible way to increase the allocated video memory above 2GB? I'm using the A515-43 with 6GB RAM and 2GB Video memory but was hoping I could increase it to 12/4 with two 8GB sticks rather than two 4GB ones.
no sorry the rest is done dynamically but mostly it cant use more anyway
It depends. Many APU systems allow you to change the VRAM window in the BIOS, I'm unfamiliar with the A512-43. At work, we had a system with 512MB RAM., with 128MB allocated to the VRAM window. I improved performance a lot by decreasing the VRAM window to 32MB in the BIOS.
If your BIOS supports it, you might even want to decrease the VRAM to 512MB on bootup if you won't be gaming, and increase it to 4GB on bootup for gaming.
increasing vram more than 2gb in 8gb machine is bad if im saying your system will be unoptimized, also adding more vram not gonna make your graphic faster unless for better graphic texture setting
im currently using a ryzen 5 3400g with 2x4 gb ram, if i upgrade one stick to 8gb will i get better performance? or will it just get slower

To be honest, I would like to use that stick (4G) entirely for shared memory. If not...then 2G of it :( :(

@@mikesunboxing My choice is 12gb but most say it is bad for the motherboard and doesnnt have dual channel
Which should I put, 4+4=8 or 4+8=12?

please can say in case if intel uhd 620 graphics i have 4gb ram and i am confused whether i have to upgrade to 8gb or 12 gb . the only thing i need is more fps an less crashes

My laptop's ram is 3200mhz but it only uses 2667mhz. How can I maximize the usage of my ram, sir?
some motherboards will only be able to use 2666 due to chipset limitations, but as 3200mhz ram is more common now the manufacturer will use it as it is either available or cheapy to bulk buy
@@mikesunboxing So is it ok to pair it with 2666mhz ram? since the max capacity of the mobo is 2666?
if you run for gaming and boost your fps you should choose 2x4 it better extra 10fps than the 4+8 . but 12gb ram is far better for your system ,like workstation programs
I have asus m409da with 4gb soldered of ram, can i upgrade it into 20gb of ram by adding 16gb ram ?
not sorry, i would think so but i haven't tried it to confirm
What is the max ram can you put in that laptop
16gb I think but some have reported 32gb works
it´s like
Thanks taz
My IdeaPad 3-14ALC6 Laptop - Type 82KT has (x2)4gb 3200MHz one onboard and one extra, I checked through CMD and it says till 16gb is supported(idk if it talking abt that one free slot or 16 gb total) so my question is will I be able to upgrade to 20gb or 12gb ram?
And also will my laptop lose dual channel functionality if memory sizes are different?
either is fine and modern systems run asyncronious dual channel so ram can be different sizes
@@mikesunboxing thanks, it was good to know, have good day sir :)
@@aradhaysingh147 Thank you - you too 🙂
Hey Mike my laptop has ryzen 5 3500u with Vega 8 4gb RAM is hould upgrade to 16 how my integrated graphics get more graphic memory I need to do something else or it with increase automatically
it should be automatically adjusted
Thanks
but i have 8gb ram and in the radeon software it says i have 512mb vram
that is right, add more than 8GB and it will show 2gb
You can also adjust virtual memory
If my 'memory' 😂 serves me right, Windows HOME edition has a Microsoft memory cap of 8Gbs so anything above that won't be used anyway. Windows Pro does not have a particularly low cap so 12 Gb et would be fine. Those of us who had 32bit systems previously on ie XP will know where I am coming from re this when the cap was 4Gb and the actual memory was about 3.6Gb et
i remember having to tweak Windows ME to only use a certain amount of memory back in the day
@@mikesunboxing I remember binning my copy of ME for those not in the know WIndows shocking Millennium edition, go search for more info. VISTA was at least workable, though it reminded me of getting home locking, locking, locking your front door🤣🤣. I was at the launch in London of Win 95 and that was bad enough😒 Ah the blue screen of death days 👀😂 I came across a receipt for 32mb (NOTE mb) of memory at £45 Ah the WIn 3.1 days Win98 SE was a fav system CIv 3 plus Doom OOOO 🤣 oh and the fractal screen saver on the Win extra disc for 98 still got that 👀 damm you could sit there for hours watching that weave its patterns.
@@mikesunboxing Oh and what are your thoughts on this political paranoia re China NOT the politics but the aftermath re our computer components? OK so a lot are made in Taiwan et et et but?
@@arthurdanielles4784 a lot of raw materials come out of there and already we are seeing some parts in the automotive industry and pc world being in demand. Regardless for where the product is made it is likely to have some of its parts needing chinese goods.
how to access hardware memory in uefi firmware settings in acer aspire a515 43...
older version of the bios MIGHT allow it but the latest version has no access to this setting
hi mike i only have 8 gb can i use empty space on hardrive as more ram ie pagefile
and a 2 gb graphic card ..yeah well been left behind on the Titanic with my pc .but well
build a new one one day soon
Depending on pagefile gets slow very quickly, not so bad if you have stacks of things loaded, most of which are inactive, but the moment the system begins to hit pagefile while in use, it gets real painful.
If it's a separate graphics that doesn't share system memory, then you don't lose the 2GB
yeah what matthew said really
my dell inspiron laptop has 5gb hardware reserved memory. out of 12gb ram. i want to know those 5gb is wasted.
it has radeon r5 integrated graphics.
no idea sorry that seems excessively high
@@mikesunboxing today i placed a new ram. it matches the previous ram in all values. now memory i see full ram. only one gb for hardware reserved memory. two similar rams .......worked for me. thanks for your video. i understand 1gb is being used by windows.
yes that is right

How about 20gb vs 12gb? Is 12gb enough?

I use ryzen 5 3500u so it reserved 2gb system hardware. Would u suggest me where should between 20gb and 12gb?
Thanks mike , im trying to upgrade my laptop from one stick of 8gb 2400 mhz cl 19 to 16 gb 2400 mhz cl 15 and a ssd instead of hard drive . hopefully the apu(3500 u) will be more capable. thanks
Good luck!
Can you manually add more RAM for the APU?
no sorry it is dynamically done
What are the differences between 12gb and 16gb ram(I have 8 I'm gonna upgrade).I have an integrated gpu and usually in 8gb it uses only like 500mb so if I upgrade to 12 I will have 2gb ram allocated right?Will getting 12 and 16 make a difference?

Will 4 + 4 RAM give me 2Gb VRAM in vega 8?please answer, i like your channel
Yes it should do
Im a little confused, I have an AMD Ryzen 5 3500U with 8gb ram, only 5.95 usable as you said. I see people saying that if I add 8/16gb in one of the 4Gb slots that some speed will be capped due to the remaining 4gb of ram? I'm confused whether this is correct and what this actually means
it is right but won't be a negative effect, the upgrade will be noticeable and worth while
I'm using a Ryzen for my PC that doesnt comes with APU inside and i use a discrete one
Should i go for 8GB dual channel nor 12GB dual channel setup? Or letting it alone with just 8gigs stick?
dual channel will always give better performance 16GB is best option if you can
Does adding 4GB will increase the speed of my Intel UHD 630 graphics? I already have 8GB. Using Intel i5-9400.
it should do a little
bro if i will upgrade to 16gb ram it will increase my graphics to 4gb??
no it won't as the system shares up to 2GB but it will use system RAM as a kind of cache
When i will upgrade to 16gb it will increase gaming performence
